1, why does the author tell us not to be afraid to ask stupid” questions?
The author thinks that many apparently na?ve inquiries like why grass is green, or why the sun is round, or why we need 55,000 unclear weapons in the world- are really deep questions. He says when you try to get the answers; you will gain deep understanding of the things. It’s also important to know, as well as you can, what it is that you don’t know, and asking question like the way, he also tells us to ask “stupid”questions requires courage on the part of the asker and knowledge and patience on the part of the answerer, and don’t confine you learning to schoolwork. Discuss ideas in depth with friends, it’s much braver to ask questions even when there’s a prospect of ridicule than to suppress you questions and become deadened to the world around you.
2What are the factors to shift the hero-worship to the celebrity worship?
The new forms of media-photography, moving pictures, radio and television are the main factors.
The reproduction of photos in newspapers turned famous people into celebrities whose dress, appearance, and personal habits were widely commented upon. Slowly the focus of public attention
began to shift away from
knowing what such people
did to knowing what they
looked like.
The shift was accelerated
by the arrival of moving
pictures. Between 1901 and
1974, 74percent of the
magazine articles about
famous people were about
political leaders, inventors,
professionals, and
businessmen. After 1922,
however, most articles were
about movie stars
With the arrival of
television, the faces of the
stars became as familiar as
those we saw across the
breakfast table. We came to
know more about the lives
of the celebrities than we
did about most of the
people we know personally.
Less than seventy years
after the appearance of the
first moving pictures, the
shift from hero-worship to
celebrity- worship was
complete.
3 what is the Americans’
attitude towards time? Give
necessary examples.
In the United States, many
people keenly feel the
shortness of each life-time.
They are aware that once a
day in their life is gone, it
will never come back. And
Americans believe no one
stands still. If you are not
moving ahead, you are
falling behind. So they
value time and want every
minute to count.
This attitude towards time
is shown in the fast pace of
life in the
country .whatever they do
they always seem to be in a
rush. You find people
hurrying to get where they
are going. They hurry to
eating places for a meal and
finish it as quickly as
possible.
Also Americans do what
they can to save time. They
produce a lot of
labor=saving devices such
as clothes-and dish-washers.
They rapidly communicate
through phone calls.
Telex-and email and cut
down on personal contacts.
4can you imagine what did
barrette think of when he
heard Snyder’s whisper
“take over ,bos’n?
Because of thirst, barrette
was almost out of mind. He
rose several times and was
a constant threat. But he
heard Snyder said “take
over, bos’n ,he had a
strange feeling suddenly.
He came to realize he
would and must take over
the task and be responsible
for the rest. As long as he
stopped others from the
little water, they would
always have hopes and
wouldn’t die soon. So he
picked Snyder’s gun up and
decided to hold off the
other from the water until
night when a ship saved
them.
5why parents overindulge
their children?
There are several reasons to
explain why parents
overindulge their children.
One fairly common reason
is that parents who both
hold down full-time jobs
may feel guilty about the
amount of time they spend
away from their children
and may attempt to
compensate by showering
them with material
possessions. Other parents
overindulge, because they
want their children to have
everything they had while
growing up, along with
those things the parents
yearned for but didn’t get.
Still others are afraid of say
no to their children’s
endless requests for toys for
fear that their children will
fell unloved or will be
ridiculed if they don’t have
the same playthings their
friends have.
6what are four stages that
people go through when
they experience situations
that are very different from
those to which they are
accustomed?
Stage one is a honeymoon
phase, which the new
experience is perceived to
be interesting, picturesque,
entertaining ,and charming.
You may notice several
superficial differences such
as music, food and clothing,
and the fresh appeal of the
new experience keeps you
feeling interested and
positive. When you stay in
a new environment for a
while, you move to stage
two-the crisis stage- in
which the shine wears off
day to day realities sink in.
in relationship, you notice
annoying habits in a new
country , you few polite
phrase. If you stick with the
experience and try to deal
with it realistically you will probably move to the third phase: recovery. In recovery, you learn the systems, procedures, language or nonverbal behaviors of the new environment so that you can cope with it on the basis of some mastery, competence, and comfort. Finally, when you feel that you function well and almost automatically in the new culture, you will move to the fourth phase: adjustment.
7suppose you are the millionaire. Explain how you get to know Hughie Erskine and what you do in return for the pound he gave you when you first met.
I’m baron hausberg. I have enough money to buy the whole of London. One day, on a whim I asked my artist friend Alan Trevor to paint me as beggar. Alan had almost finished the picture when a very charming young man walked into his studio. I suppose he must have been very sympathetic with me. For when Alan was away a minute, the young man quickly put a pound into my hat. I was startled for a moment, but I was please when I realized that he took me for a real beggar.
Later I learned from Alan all about this young man: he was poor, and could not marry the girl he loved because her father wouldn’t let them unless he had 10,000pounds. Touched by the young man’s spirit of
kindness, I decided to help
him. The next day I had a
cheque for 10000pounds
delivered to him as a
wedding gift.
8retell the story “the model
millionaire in about 150
words, concluding your
retelling with a
one-sentence comment.
Hughie Erskine was a
charming young man who
was in love with a nice girl
called Laura Merton.
Laura’s father made it clear
to Hughie that he would not
marry his daughter to him
until Hughie had the
thousand pounds.
One day, Hughie went to
see his artist friend Alan
Trevor in his studio. There
he found his friend painting
a beggar, who was an old
man in rags, Hughie felt so
sorry for the poor model
that he gave him the only
pound he had.
The old model was actually
a millionaire, when he
heard all about Hughie and
Laura, and their problem,
he had a cheque for ten
thousand pounds delivered
to him the very next
Day. The couple was
happily married, and the
“beggar” attended their
wedding.
The story shows that a
genuine millionaire is not
who has, but who gives.
9the author got a solution
finally. What was the
solution? Was it risky?
He laid out the diaries in
two big steel suitcases, over
them he placed a number of
his broadcast scripts, each
page of which had been
stamped by the military and
civilian censors as passed
for broadcast. On top he put
a few general staff maps he
had pick up from friends.
then he phoned the Gestapo
headquarters to say he had
a couple of suitcases full of
his dispatches, broadcasts
and notes that he wanted to
take out of the country. As
he was flying off early the
next day, there would be no
time for Gestapo officials at
the airfield to go over the
contents, could they take a
look now, if he brought
them over, and if they
approved, put a Gestapo
seal on the suitcases so he
wouldn’t be held up at the
airport? Yes it was risky. He
thought life in the third
Reich had always been
risky. It was worth a try.
10decribe the situation that
“I saw the old washwoman
for last time.
One evening ,while mother
was sitting near the oil
lamp mending a shirt, the
door opened and a small
puff of steam, followed by
a gigantic bag, entered the
room. I ran toward the old
woman and helped her
unload her bag, she was
even thinner now, more
bent, her head shook from
side to side as though she
were saying no. she could
not utter a clear word, but
mumbled something with
her sunken mouth and pale
lips.
After the old woman had
recovered somewhat, she
told us that she had been ill
badly. But as soon as she
was able to stand on her
feet once more, she began
he washing. She said I
could not rest easy in my
bed because of the wash.
the wash would not let me
die. I don’t want to be a
burden on anyone!
11why was Andrew
Carnegie so proud of the
one dollar and twenty
cents- the first pay he
brought home?
Carnegie was very proud of
the one dollar and twenty
cents he earned for the first
time in his life when he was
only twelve, the money,
though small in
amount ,meant a great deal.
First ,when he got his first
pay he felt that he had
grown up. He way no
longer a boy who had to
depend on his parents; he
had become a man who was
able to help support the
family. A contributing
member. This was
important because at that
time life was hard for the
family and it was difficult
for his parents to manage
alone.
Also he thought the money
was the direct reward of
honest manual labor. It
represented a week of very
hard work. This money
gave him the greatest
satisfaction of being
rewarded for what he had
done.
12why did Rachel Carson
write the “silent spring
“what’s the conent of it?
Because she felt that the
wonders of nature are precious and permanent, and much of nature was forever beyond the destruction of man. But then she discovered she was wrong. She learned with sadness that little in nature is truly beyond the “tampering reach of man”then, she wrote the book silent spring to sound a startling warning to mankind and the book showed quite clearly that man was endangering himself and everything else on this planet by his indiscriminate use of chemical pesticides. As her title suggests, miss Carson was saying that there might come a springtime that would indeed be silent because the birds. As well as other creatures, and plants would have been destroyed by the man-made poisons used to kill crop-threatening insects.
13in the story “who shall dwell? How did the father’s attitude towards the neighbors change? What brought about the change. When the bomb alert came, the father was clear that he had built the shelter for his own family, and that he would not le anybody else in. so when his neighbours came and asked to share the shelter he rejected them flatly. When a mother begged him to take her little girl in, he did not know what to do. At that moment his wife dashed outside and pushed the girl in. her act set him thinking hard. Just a
moment before the first
bomb struck he made a big
decision. After giving his
elder son a few instructions,
he stepped out and shoved
two children into the shelter.
He stood beside his wife,
ready to spend the last
minute with her.
His change seemed sudden,
but was actually quite
natural. He loved his
children, so he was greatly
affected by the mother’s
plea and gave the chance of
survival to the two children.
Also his love for his wife
led him to follow her
example.
14describe cliff evans’life
before his sudden death
Cliff evans lived with his
mother, stepfather and five
younger half brothers and
sisters.
His stepfather had never
legally adopted him,nor did
he show any affection for
him. At home cliff didn’t
talk much and had never
told his family about his
problems.
When he began school, he
was timid but eager to learn.
And his iq was pretty good.
Then in the third grade a
teacher worte in the school
record that he was
uncooperative and slow.
Since then he had never got
any encouragement from
his teachers, gradually, the
child had no more
confidence left. He never
smiled nor talked much. He
had no friends:he had never
belonged to a club, never
played on a team and never
held an office. He came to
school by himself and left
by himself. In class, he
would sit back in the last
seat. Finally he became
silent and lonely. He
became nothing.
15what are the major forms
of bribery?
Bribery can be classified
into three broad categories.
The first category consists
of large amounts of money
paid for political purposes
or to secure major contracts.
For example, a certain
American company offered
big sums of money to
support a us presidential
candidate when it was
under investigation. Also in
order to get big contracts,
such payments are often
made to ruling families or
their close advisers.
The second category
covers payments made to
botain quicker official
approval of some project.
In such cases, the money is
often paid to key
government officials
concerned.
The third category involves
payments made in certain
countries to make a
business deal easy to get
approved, for instance, a
foreign company may pay
to get permission to import
equipment. A common type
of this category is the
“facilitating payment”to
clear cargoes. These are
smaller sums of money paid
to customs officials.
16what do you know about
randy ad carole in “a social
event? Why are they
anxious to get invited to
scotty’s funeral.
Randy and carole are a
young Hollywood couple.
They have been married
only a short time. Both
have achieved a certain
degree of success in
pictures, but their careers in
the snow business are still
in the promising stage.
Scotty Woodrow, a
world-famous moive star
has just died, and randy and
carole are anxious to go to

president and the birtish
queen
Randy and carole think it is
extremely important for
their career to be seen there
with a lot of big shots. But
they haven’t got an
invitation while some of
their Hollywood friends,
actors and actress like
theselves, have been invited.
That’s why they are worried
and are trying hard to find
ways of getting themselves
invited in the last minute.
1illustrate with examples
the basic ingredients of
good manners Dr . peale
mentions in his article”
courtesy”
Dr. peale lists three things
as the basic ingredient of
good manners: a strong
sense of justice, the ablity
to share another person’s
inner feelings and the
capacity to treat all people
alike.
Once a man was driving
along, narrow and dusty road ahead of another car. Suddenly he stopped off the road and told the driver of the car behind to get ahead of him. He did not want the other person to put up with hid dust all the way. This is a man with a strong sense of justice.
A courteous person can also understand the pain or unhappiness of others. He\she offers help without hurting the feeling of the other person because he\she shares their emotions as if they were his\he own. Finally , a person with good manners treats all people alike, whether they are plain citizens or big shots. He\she never asks whether the other person deserves their good manners.
2how did mr. fotheringay discover his unusual powers and how did he take advantage of them?
It was while he was trying to prove the impossibility of miracles that mr. fotheringay discover his extraordinary powers.
He was having a drink in a bar, a person called toddy opposed everything he said, this made him very angry. He wanted to show toddy that the lamp there couldn’t burn upside down without breaking no matter how he wished it to do so. But as soon as he said”turn upside down without breaking, the lamp did as fotheringay had just said.
Back at home he experimented with his magical powers and came
to see that he could with
things. The next day he
began to take advantage of
this unusual power. By his
will he first got a fresh
gooes-egg for breakfast. In
the same day he got the
whole day’s work done in
10 minutes
He also created a number of
useful things and increased
his personal property.
3how did mr. fotheringay’s
attitude towards changes?
Mr.fotheringay didn’t
believe In miracles until he
was thirty years old. It was
while he was assertiong the
impossiblity of miracles
that he discovered his
extraordinary powers. One
day ,when he was having a
drink in a bar, toddy
beamish opposed
everything he said, so he
decided to make an unusual
effort.he tried to illustrate
what was a miracle by
giving a special example,
that is, to make a lamp
upside down and go on
burning steadily without
falling. To his great surprise,
what he said came ture.
Everyone was astonished at
it. They all didn’t believe it,
after going back home, he
tried his will power. He
succeeded in getting a
match and lighting the
candle with his will power.
He wondered at his will
power. Then he tried to get
himself a nightshirt. Lay
and cook a goose-egg,
Do one day’s work in ten
minutes, make walking
stick blossom, and sent the
policeman to hades, then to
san franciso by using his
will power. In the end he
left delighted even thouth
he understood that the gift
required caution and
watchfulness.
4what did kaz see on that
day?
When she saw a b-29
bomber approaching, it
didn’t frighten her, because
she thought Hiroshima was
the only peaceful city
during the war.but, then,
kaz saw the bomb falling
away from the plane and
drifting down towards her.
The journery took 43
seconds. A loud explosion
reverberated in the air. A
mushroom cloud rose over
the remains of the city. Kaz
was thrown to the ground
so wiolently that her two
front teeth broke off. She
lost consciousness. When
she came to herself. She
found there was a dead
silence around, broken only
by the cries of the dying.
Their house crashed down.
Her father had the front of
his body burnt. When her
brother came back.she
could barely recongnize
him through his wounds. As
night fell, she and he
brother made for the
mountains to look for a
friend of kaz’s who offered
to take them in. there kaz
looked back and saw the
city on fire. She left he
brother behind and ran
down the hillside towards
the flames for her parents.
The streets were filled with
the dead and the barely
living.
5how did the wades
celebrate the Christmas?
Several days before
Christmas, they’d gong
down to their ouw little
farm. They had cut a tree in
their own woods. They had
eaten and slept, and read by
the light of oil lamps. The
children had been more
than satisfied with their
presents, there had been
balls, erector sets, a number
of story books, and a lot of
junk from the five-and –ten
for the boys, and for laura,
a picture Emily had found
cheap in a second-hand art
shop and small brooch that
had brightened
everything.whether she was
chopping wood, or romping
with her brothers,
Or basting the turkey, or
talking politics very
sensibly with her father,
she’d seemed to radiate
happiness. On new year’s
eve , they had given her a
weak highball, the first
she’d ever had, and she had
gong to sleep sitting on the
floor with her rosy
cheek against henr’s knee.
The family all had a very
wonderful time!
6what is the characteristics
of Britan’s landscape that
goes with variety?
With variety goes surprise.
Ours is the country of
happy surprise. You have
never to travel long without
being pleasantly astonished.
It would not be difficult to
compile a list of such
surprises that would fill the
next fifty pages. But I will
content myself with suggesting the first few that occur to me. If go down into the west country, among rounded hills and soft pastures, you suddenly arrive at the bleak tabelands as if the north had left a piece of itself down ther. But before you have reached them you have already been surprised by the queer bit of marshland, as if a former inhabitant had been sent to Cambridge and had brought his favorite marshland walk back from college with him into the west.
7 in the author’s opinion, what does love mean? Love means that I know the person I love. Love means that I care about the welfare of the person I love. Love means having respect fro the dignity of the person I love. Love means having responsibility toward the person I love. Love means growth for both myself and the person I love. Love can tolerate imperfection. Love is freeing. Love is expansive. Love means having a want for the person I love without having a need for that person in order to be complete. Love means identifying with the person I love. Love is selfish. Love involves seeing the potential within the person we love.
8how did Phillips design an atomic bomb in his junior year at Princeton?
Phillips read over the books on nvclear-reactor
technology, general nuclear
physics, and current atomic
theory. Besides, he listened
to dyson’s explanations of
the basic principles of
nvclear physics. That
wasn’t enough.
In order to find more useful
information, Phillips went
to Washington. D. c to
search for records of the los
Alamos oproject that were
declassified fully outlined
all the details of atomic
fissioning known to the
world’s most advanced
scientists in the early
1940s.
The biggest problem
involved in the explosion of
an atomic bomb was how to
arrange the explosives
around the plutonium.
Another problem he was
faced with was which
explosives around the
plutonium, if his equations
Were correct, his atomic
bomb would explode
effectively as expected. But
he should know the exact
nature of the explosives
from du pont company.
Now ,so to speak, he
already succeeded in
designing an atomic bomb
on paper.
9 what do you think are the
advantages and
disadvantages of goading?
I think goading is a good
way to prod the children to
behave well.
In a way, goading is
positive. As human beings,
we all have the sense of
self-respect and will be
proud of our little
achievement. If there are
occasious prods in the rear,
we will in tim be conscious
of our inefficiency, and then
press ourselves to achieve
higher aims. Just as it
affected john and his cousin,
goading from time to time
can prevent children from
being proud of their little
achievement, it can make
them more modest and
prudent. The modest
receive bendfit, while the
conceited reap failure.
However, we could not say
it is without any harm.
Sometimes it might be
harmful. It may disappoint
children and cause them to
lose heart. Perhaps they
will collapse after one
setback. Therefore, only
goading itself is not enough:
it must be combined with
the proper method to carry
it out.
10what is your idea about a
true friend?
In my view, a true should
be honest, loyal and willing
to help.
Honesty in friendship
means that we should be
sincere and frank. We
should not hesitate to point
out our friends’
shortcomings and should
never try to cover up their
errors. What we should do
is to encourage and help
them in improve.
Loyalty is important if we
want the relationship to last.
We have confidence in one
another in fine weather and
in rainy days. We don’t
desert our friends when
they run into trouble. Not
do we cling to them in their
success. We share with our
friends both joy and sorrow.
True friends are the people
we can turn to in all
circumstances, as the
saying goes,”a friend in
need is a friend indeed.
They are always read to
lend a helping hand to pull
us out of tight corner.
I believe in true friendship
though true friends are not
easy to find.
11was there difference
between baker and doris?
What were their mother’s
expectations of them?
Doris was quite different
from baker in character.
Take the example of
“gumption”, baker lacked it
but enough of it for a dozen
people. What baker liked to
do most was lying in front
of the radio rereading his
favorite big little book, dick
tracy meets stooge viler. In
contrast, doris like activity.
When she was only seven,
she could carry a piece of
short-weighted cheese back
to the A &p, threaten the
manager with legal actiong
and come back
triumphantly with the full
quarter pound they’d paid
for and a new extra thrown
in for forgiveness.
Mrs. Baker expected her
son to make something of
himself.
She did not expect doris to
do the same only because
doris was a girl. The best a
capable girl could hope for
was to become a nurse or
school teacher.
12describ the baker’s
family background and their life then
It was in 1932.
The great depression, the worst time before the wolrd war two, broke out, which lasted from 1929-1933. the year 1932 was the bleakest time in ghe great depression. The great depression began in America and spread all over the European countries quickly. Also, it was the great depression that led to the second world war. Millions of peole were out of work. Many factories and landlords went bankrupt. The year 1932 was the climax of the depression. The author’s father had died two years before. Leaving them with a few pieces of sears, roebuck furniture and not much else. His family was poor so that his mother had to take his sister, doris, and him to live with one of her younger brothers, uncle allen, who had made something of himself by 1932 as a salesman for a soft-drink bottler and had an income of $30a week.
13what are the two dangers to be guarded against in old age?
One of these is too great an absorption in the past. One should not live in memories, in regrets for the good old days, or in sadness about friends who are dead. One’s thoughts must be directed to the future, and to things about which there is something to be done. This is not always easy: one’s own past is a gradually
increasing weight. It is easy
to think to oneself that
one’s emotions used to be
more vivid than they are ,
and one’s mind more keen.
If this is true, it should be
forgotten, and if it is
forgotten it will probably
not be true.
The other thing to be
avoided is clinging to youth
in the hope of finding
strength in its vitality.
When your children are
grown ups they want to live
their own lives, and if you
continue to be as interested
in them as you were when
they were young, you are
likely to become a burden
to them, unless they are
unusually insensible.
14what kind of person was
the lighthouse keeper?
I think the lighthouse
keeper was a person that
deserves our respect and
admiration.
Life in the lighthouse
seemed very simple and
dull, but he had no desire
for anything that he did not
need or anything that he did
not need or anything that
was beyong his power to
obtain. For this reason he
delined the tobacco Rudolf
offered.
Though his world was
limited, his mind was as
spacious as the ocean he
lived close to. He was kind
and generous to Rudolf a
stranger who had come to
the lighthouse to seek
shelter from the storm. He
did not know what a violin
was ad had never heard
music before, but he could
understand Beethoven’s
work Rudolf played for
him.
He was a man of few words,
and did not show much
warmth towards Rudolf, but
deep down he was greatly
attached to his guest. To
him the violin was part of
the man he wanted to know
more about, not something
he was interested in
because he had never seen
it before.
15why the author mentions
that it is impossible to
measure the importance of
Edison by adding up the
specific inventions with
which his name is
associated?
Because he thinks that
although many inventions
of Edison have been in
their effect upon modern
civilization, the total of
effect of ediso’s career
surpasses the sum of all
them. He did not merely
make the lamp and the
phonograph and
innumerable other devices
practicable for general use:
it was given to him to
demonstrate the power of
applied science so
concretely, so
understandably, so
convincingly that he altered
the mentality of mankind,.
In his lifetime, largely
because of his success,
there came into widest
acceptance the
revolutionary conception
that man could by the use
of his intelligence invent a
new mode of living on this
planet; the human spirit,
which in all previous ages
had regarded the conditions
of life as essentially
unchanging and beyond
man’s control, confidently,
and perhaps somewhat
naively, abopted the
conviction that anything
could be changed and
everything could be
controlled.

I's sad to see how few people do even though many could Lots of people eagerly campaign for the reduction of greenhouse gases,but by driving cars,they're sill contributing to the problem. You might be picturing me as an extreme environmentalist (环保主义者),but I'm not one of those teenagers who wear shirts that say "Help save the world: Recycle." Actually,my interest in exercise,health,and fitness led me to cycling. Cycling can help you lose weight,improve your health,and prevent many diseases. Cycling also carries a relatively low chance of injury. While being good for your body,bicycle commuting is also a great way to cut greenhouse gases. Many environmentalists recycle,plant tees,and drive hybrid cars (混合动力汽车),but bicycle commuting could be even more effective than all of those combined. You could cut down the amount of greenhouse gases just by commuting by bicycle a few times a week. Bicycle commuting saves money too. When you buy your bicycle and the things that usually go with it. You might be shocked by the cost. But if you think about the increasingly high gas prices, you will know for sure that you can save a significant amount each year by not driving a car. You might think that you don't have time for bicycle commuting Actually. you probably do. You could cut back on your TV time and pick up this activity. It helps you care for the environment,save money,and most importantly get fit. 1. I will write a best-selling book on cycling. ( ) A:True B:False C:Not Given 英语(二)试卷第1页(共8页)

Lesson One Twelve Things l Wish They Taught at School Carl Sagan Learning Guide 俗话说:“活到老,学到老。”人的一生就是不断学习、不断丰富和充实自己的过程。青少年阶段, 尤其是中学阶段,无疑是学习的最佳时期。中学教育的重点应放在什么地方?美国著名科学家和科普 作家萨根批评中学只抓各个学科具体内容的做法,他认为中学要注重对青少年的宏观教育,使他们建 立起唯物的世界观和宇宙观,使他们能够正确对待自己,关心周围的世界——人类生存的环境和自己 的地球同胞。 1. I attended junior and senior high school, public institutions in New York and New Jersey, just after the Second World War. It seems a long time ago. ① The facilities and the skills of the teachers were probably well above average for the United States at that time.Since then, I've learned a great deal. One of the most important things I've learned is how much there is to learn, ② and how much I don't yet know.③ Sometimes I think how grateful I would be today if I had learned more back then about what really matters. In some respects that education was terribly narrow; the only thing I ever heard in school about Napoleon was that the United States made the Louisiana Purchase from him. ④(On a planet where some 95% of the inhabitants are not Americans, the only history that was thought worth teaching was American history. ) In spelling, grammar, the fundamentals of math, and other vital subjects, my teachers did a pretty good job. But there's so much else I wish 2.Perhaps all the deficiencies have since been rectified. It seems to me there are many things (often more a matter of attitude and perception than the simple memorization of facts) that the schools should teach — things

Unit1 A Learning, Chinese-Style Unit2 A A Life Full of Riches Unit3 A Father Knows Better Unit4 A A Virtual Life Unit5 A True Height Unit6 A A Woman Can Learn Anything a Man Can Unit1 Howard Gardner, a professor of education at Harvard University, reflects on a visit to China and gives his thoughts on different approaches to learning in China and the West. 哈佛大学教育学教授霍华德·加德纳回忆其中国之行,阐述他对中西方不同的学习方式的看法。 Learning, Chinese-Style Howard Gardner 1 For a month in the spring of 1987, my wife Ellen and I lived in the bustling eastern Chinese city of Nanjing with our 18-month-old son Benjamin while studying arts education in Chinese kindergartens and elementary schools. But one of the most telling lessons Ellen and I got in the difference between Chinese and American ideas of education came not in the classroom but in the lobby of the Jinling Hotel where we stayed in Nanjing. 中国式的学习风格 霍华德·加德纳 1987年春,我和妻子埃伦带着我们18个月的儿子本杰明在繁忙的中国东部城市南京住了一个月,同时考察中国幼儿园和小学的艺术教育情况。然而,我和埃伦获得的有关中美教育观念差异的最难忘的体验并非来自课堂,而是来自我们在南京期间寓居的金陵饭店的大堂。 2 The key to our room was attached to a large plastic block with the room number on it. When leaving the hotel, a guest was encouraged to turn in the key, either by handing it to an attendant or by dropping it through a slot into a box. Because the key slot was narrow, the key had to be positioned carefully to fit into it. 我们的房门钥匙系在一块标有房间号的大塑料板上。酒店鼓励客人外出时留下钥匙,可以交给服务员,也可以从一个槽口塞入钥匙箱。由于口子狭小,你得留神将钥匙放准位置才塞得进去。 3 Benjamin loved to carry the key around, shaking it vigorously. He also liked to try to place it into the slot. Because of his tender age and incomplete understanding of the need to position the key just so, he would usually fail. Benjamin was not bothered in the least. He probably got as much pleasure out of the sounds the key made as he did those few times when the key actually found its way into the slot. 本杰明爱拿着钥匙走来走去,边走边用力摇晃着。他还喜欢试着把钥匙往
